Hi.
Just in case anyone is interested here is another gadget for your dzen
statusbar, a cpu usage meter.
It was designed to work with Linux and relies on the existance of
"/proc/stat".
Usage: cpubar [-c <charcount>] [-s <symbol>] [-i <interval>]
With:
charcount = number of chars to be considered 100%
(defaults to 25)
symbol = a single character representing the corresponding
percentage value (defaults to '=')
interval = update interval in seconds (defaults to 1)
Used with dzen it could looks like this:

Grab cpubar here:

The commandline for the above shot:
cpubar | \
dzen2 -bg '#aecfaa' -fg black -w 235 -ta l \
-fn '-*-profont-*-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859' \
-x 350 -e 'button1=exec:uterm -e htop'
Have fun, Rob.
